  1. Regurgitation of blood from the left ventricle into the left atrium.
  2. Regurgitation of blood from the right ventricle into the right atrium.
  3. Enlargement of the right ventricle due to increased pressure in the right atrium.
  4. Regurgitation of blood from the aorta into the left ventricle.

  1. Administer cardiotonic and diuretic medications.
  2. Schedule regular exercise periods and administer narcotics as ordered.
  3. Promote bedrest and administer scheduled antibiotics.
  4. Administer oxygen and tranquilizers as ordered.
